[Gelence] GELENCE The catholic church of Gelence (Ghelinta, Rumania today) was built in the 13th century but later modified. Surrounded by defensive walls, this church has a very nice baroque furniture, a panel-ceiling dating 1628, and frescos on the walls of the nave showing stories from the legends of Saint László I (1077-1095), the great Hungarian King of Knight. The apse has gothic windows. [Frescos]
